Boards that Matter Building Blocks for Implementing Coherent Governance' and Policy Governance'

The challenge of governing a complex organization is difficult enough in itself, without layering on top of that challenge the struggle to make the board's own operating system seem natural and meaningful. Making Your Governance Model Work is a practical guide that takes the mystery out of that process. It is a book that is loaded with down-to-earth solutions, all based on processes successfully in use today by boards across the United States and internationally. Although many of the examples offered in the book come from the world of public school boards and non-profit boards of various types, the implementation processes are equally applicable to boards of all types.

Linnda J.Dawson and Randy Quinn cofounded the Aspen Group International in 1993. They have consulted with boards in most of the fifty states and others on three continents.
